Allodynia Hell

[YoYoFat]

Been on Tirz since August 2024. Maintenance since late May/early June 2025. Dosing 8mg/week, split into two doses (once every 3.5 days). Haven’t increased my dose since February. Last two doses I used an old vial of Skye I got last September (not wasting that $$$ stuff!). Before that, I was exclusively using Nexa in 2025 with literally zero issues.

Allodynia arrived last week. Started on my inner thigh, moved to my mid-quad, and how is on my outer hip.

It’s MADDENING.

What is causing this and how do I make it go away other than just stopping the Tirz altogether?

Filler in the Skye vial?

Vitamin deficiencies from long term GLP-1 use? Which ones?

How long does it last?

Help me not lose my mind!

I tackled it with hot shower, lots of thick lotion after shower and then roll on lidocaine OTC. Had to take Benadryl for bedtime too. I definitely had this more 2 years ago when I started. I started with Skye Tirz also. It eventually went away after @5-6 months. Also switched vendors around that time. Coincidence? Good luck

I’m on sema/cagri and mine comes and goes. If I’m working out and stretching it quiets down.

I’m just realizing that I had some long underwear on last week and that didn’t bother me. But regular pants do when they brush against my skin. Maybe now that it’s cooling off I’ll just wear long underwear until spring.

8mg isn't a normal dosage for tirz. I'm curious why you deviated. Not saying it's the cause, just curious why people don't follow EL's dosage guidelines

Was that vial's BUD past date? And how far past the date was it?

Dump the Skye tirz. Its not worth it no matter what you paid. If you don't have any other supply, bite the bullet and buy some more from Nexaph unless you are willing to wait.

You should be taking a daily multivitamin anyway so do that. Even a cheap generic multivitamin is better than nothing. I would also consider more vitamin D and B complex because those are linked with that condition (according to google anyway)

I have enough Nexa to last me 10 years. I just used the Skye because I have it and didn’t want it to go to waste and wanted to use up the last of my BAC with a smaller dose vial.

I have a multivitamin daily as well as a B12, but the multivitamin doesn’t have even 100% of most nutrients.

I read somewhere that Zinc helps, so I’ve got Amazon on the way with that too.

With reta, the suggestion for allodynia is often zinc- do you take it?

Only as part of my multivitamin but it says it’s only 28% my DV.

I ordered Zinc a couple hours ago from Amazon and it’s already out for delivery, so I’m happy to guinea pig this…
